The 2018 edition of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie breathes new life into Cartier icons.
Cartier strikes the perfect balance between clean design and flamboyant style, the fine line between restraint and excess inherent to every timepiece of character.

In the Cartier Libre collection, the feminine beauty of the oval is exuberantly reinterpreted by Cartier.
This ebullient distortion of the oval watch invites speculation and reveals a hidden meaning.

The Cartier Libre collection was born of a desire
to play with the Maison’s signature watch shapes.
They are stretched, shrunk and transformed into
objects of fantasy with unbridled creative licence.
Cartier Libre appeals to the Collectionneuse,
the figure of the watchmaking collector.

Hitherto unseen shapes echo the Baignoire and
Crash watches. Their proportions are disrupted,
volumes accentuated and lines lengthened.
Seeking to disrupt the Cartier repertoire, these
are adventures in extravagance where precious
materials and contrasting colours are breathtakingly
feminine and minimalist in design

The aesthetic that emerges is like no other.
It defies categorisation. The Cartier codes are
present; whether visible or perceptible only to
the eye of the connoisseur, they are the ultimate
guarantee of authenticity. The result is radical,
brazen, paradoxical: the tension between
refinement and excess. Five limited-edition
individually numbered jewellery watches meet a
single definition: the immediately recognisable
Cartier signature.
